* TeacherParentRomance: A rare 2003-published story highlights Xiao Yang being pursued by a group of romantic suitors, going as far to kick one out of her home. To spare her teacher from such annoyances, Cherry suggests that she needs a fake boyfriend and brings her dad the following day. Her dad begins admiring Xiao Yang, who holds his arm while revealing to the reader she has never held a boy's hands. The romantic suitors confront the couple due to their frail signs of affection, so following Cherry's advice, they're on their way towards their first kiss. [[AlmostKiss Until it's thwarted]] by Cherry's mom, who catches her husband's infidelity, cries that she "can't live anymore," and attempts to flee tearfully. Xiao Yang follows suit while sprinting from the swarm of suitors.

* HollywoodPrehistory: One older story has a prehistoric setting where the characters live in tribes and have dinosaur and wooly mammoth companions. Here, Little Cherry is a sculptor in her tribe who doesn't replicate the cannibalistic Lazy's likeness to be more muscular than he really looks. To add salt to the wound, Lazy also gets stomped by her pet dinosaur. In retribution, Lazy's dad kidnaps Cherry's tribe for failing to hand over the missing girl. Once Cherry returns to her village with a flying pterosaur, a lonely man reveals her their tribe's kidnapping and the blackmail message left by Lazy's dad, prompting her to confront the cannibalistic chieftain at his cave lair. The story received a heavily compressed Flash adaptation covering the first scene, which goes up to the arrival of Lazy's dad, and changes Cherry's hairstyle to pigtails.



* CompressedAdaptation: The "Primitive Tribe" short adapts from the first scene of the manhua version (found in the Pineapple volume of the fruits book series). The flash short omits the remainder of the story where Lazy's dad demands Cherry's tribe to hand her over, his kidnapping of the tribe when they failed so, and Cherry's mission to rescue her clan from his lair.



* HollywoodPrehistory: One flash short, at least, has a prehistoric setting. Here, Little Cherry is a sculptor in her tribe who doesn't replicate the cannibalistic Lazy's likeness respectfully. Lazy also gets stomped by a dinosaur twice and [[ToiletHumour poops consequently]].

''Little Cherry'' is the chief intellectual property of the Zhengzhou Xoyto Comics Company from the Henan province. (Xoyto is also an English name for the franchise and titular character). It is the brainchild of cartoonist Yang Shangjun, who co-founded the company. [[note]][[http://finance.sina.com.cn/leadership/brandmanage/20071212/12004281807.shtml A Chinese article about her involvement with Little Cherry from 2007]][[/note]] According to an old summary, the company claimed to be the first private cartoon company in China, and [[https://web.archive.org/web/20031211035214/http://www.xoyto.com:80/english/jj.asp another one (in English)]] claims the ''Little Cherry'' comic books became the most popular in the nation and had praise from celebrities and government leaders. As typical with other comics from China, ''Little Cherry'' is obscure in the English-speaking world.

''Little Cherry'' comics are comedy {{Yonkoma}} strips that were published in an array of newspapers, magazines, and books, with some long stories sprinkled in. Since 2008, they have been mainly published in the ''Little Cherry Childhood Comics'' magazine (小樱桃·童年漫画). Many issues can be previewed [[http://new.bookan.com.cn/page/detail.html?type=1&id=310052259 here]]. Speaking of animation, the first released cartoon series comprises UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash shorts and was released for web viewing in 2003. They can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIzfDKQ4y-j882cLP13UAfobUzZKCx1WQ here]] (some have English subtitles), and they're generally ''not'' family friendly. In 2008, an animated TV series made its debut on Creator/{{CCTV}} featuring a new character design that many subsequent comics rely on, while few regular characters from the comics were dropped by then. Episodes can be seen on Youku, Bilibili, and other Chinese video sites.

* ArtEvolution: Immensely so, Little Cherry and other characters have had countless designs through the years, with differing artstyles demonstrated in the same year due to the [[DependingOnTheArtist hiring of multiple artists]]. Over the first decade of the comic strip's existence (perhaps longer), it was experimenting different features (including "u" "v", or "bean" shaped mouths, or having EyesAlwaysShut, "cherry" eyes, BlackBeadEyes, or "bean" eyes for the protagonist). One of the most noticeable stylistic features was her wide head often utilized across the 2000s.

** Season 1 Episode 25 is also based on a mid 2000s long story, one in which Cherry brings her friends to a restaurant. However, the motive in the comic version is for Cherry to prove she isn't a "platypus" (or as Lazy put it, someone who constantly takes advantage of free food without being generous at all), whereas in the TV version she won a writing contest and had promised to treat her friends if she landed in the top three. Also, the TV version has Lazy, not Cherry, coming across the [[spoiler:[[CounterfeitCash counterfeit]]]] 50 yuan (100 yuan in the comics) for their meals.
